PRINCE GEORGE — An 18-year-old Prince George resident faces a hefty fine after police caught him driving 131 kilometres per hour along a 60 kilometre per hour portion of Foothills Boulevard.

Prince George RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass says the incident occurred during the afternoon of May 27.

“The (male) driver was issued a $483 fine and the vehicle he was driving was impounded for seven days, despite the fact he was not the registered owner,” he says.

“In addition, the vehicle tow and storage bill will be the responsibility of the owner. Investigating officers have submitted a dangerous driver report to the BC Superintendent of Motor Vehicles for future licencing considerations.”
